+-- A "hacky" way to update plugin menu items on-the-fly.
+-- Use: require("plugins/insert_menu").add("my_plugin_menu_name")
+
+-- This piece of logic / table is singleton in the KOReader process.
+-- It provides a way to add a plugin into the "More Plugins" and is useful to
+-- work with contrib/plugins which are not in the core logic of KOReader.
+-- To avoid duplicating the menu item, caller is expected to call the add once
+-- in the KOReader process, usually it's achieveable to rely on the "require"
+-- function in lua.
